Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start marketing my book?
Ideally, book marketing should begin 3-6 months before your launch date. This gives us time to build anticipation, secure early reviews, and create momentum before your book is available. However, we also offer marketing services for books that are already published.
How much should I budget for book marketing?
Marketing budgets vary widely depending on your goals and the scope of your campaign. Our packages start at $2,500 for essential launch services, with comprehensive campaigns typically ranging from $5,000-$15,000. We'll work with you to develop a strategy that maximizes your return on investment.
Will marketing guarantee that my book becomes a bestseller?
While we can't guarantee specific sales numbers or bestseller status, our strategic approach significantly increases your book's visibility and sales potential. Many factors influence a book's success, including the quality of the content, market demand, and timing.
Do you handle advertising spend as part of your packages?
Our packages include strategy development and campaign management, but advertising spend (the actual money paid to platforms like Amazon, Facebook, or BookBub) is separate. We'll recommend appropriate budgets based on your goals and provide transparent reporting on ad performance.
How do you measure marketing success?
We track multiple metrics including sales rankings, visibility metrics, engagement rates, conversion rates, and ROI on advertising spend. We provide regular reports so you can see exactly how your marketing investment is performing.
Can you market books in specific genres or niches?
Yes, our team includes marketing specialists across all major genres and niches. We tailor our strategies to the specific dynamics of your category, whether you're publishing fiction, non-fiction, academic work, or specialized content for a niche audience.
